Guest Information

Episode Description

Doug Casey, Dr. Quinton Hennigh and Michael Oliver return. Generals commonly fight a war only to find out that as times change applying past strategies result in disaster. In the U.S. financial “generals” at the Fed and Treasury focus policy on avoiding the deflationary depression of the 1930s. Doug Casey takes a look at how times have changed and why fighting the 1930s battle cannot overcome a depression but why the current market correction is likely to be far different from the 1930s. In light of his vision for the future, we will ask Doug why he thinks gold and gold shares should help offset the pain of the impending depression. Quinton will update us on the progress being made toward production and expansion of the high grade Blue Spec project in Australia. Michael will share his insights into the direction of gold and other key markets.

Jay Taylor has been able to more than double his newsletter’s model portfolio from 2000 to the present even as the S&P 500 was in the process of losing 50% of its value!

The insights provided to Jay came from a history professor in 1967 who advised Jay that when countries go off a gold or silver standard, hard economic times are sure to follow because nations begin to think they do not need to work hard and save to enjoy a better life. Indeed there is no free lunch and a gold standard reminds people of that every day.

Jay watched his professor’s prophetic words come true when in 1971, President Nixon completely detached the dollar from gold. Not surprising to Jay, the price of gold skyrocketed in the late 1970s as inflation wiped out vast amounts of wealth from average Americans. To protect his own wealth Jay began to invest in gold and gold mining shares and in 1981 he began sharing his success and insights in his newsletter. In 1981 Jay began writing a subscription newsletter that has earned his subscribers countless thousands of dollars over the years.

Jay’s insights as to the real cause of our problems has enabled him to find investment strategies that work. Diagnose a problem correctly and you have a chance for success. Diagnose a problem incorrectly as the establishment does and you are sure to fail.
